Memorial Field inside Harold Burry Stadium
The home of Titan football home games since 1950, Memorial Field was constructed at the same time as Memorial Field House. Both were named in honor of men from Westminster who died in World Wars I and II.
Replacement of the synthetic FieldTurf and the resurfacing of the running track took place in the spring of 2019. The initial installation of synthetic FieldTurf and lighting, as part of a $1.7 million project that included the Joseph B. Fusco Plaza and an entrance terrace named in memory of the late Jerry C. Neff, was done in the summer of 2008.
Directly adjacent to the Field House and sitting just north of Brittain Lake on the Westminster campus, the field has been the home of six national championship teams and was the site of the 1988 NAIA Division II National Championship game, won by the Titans over Wisconsin-LaCrosse, 21-14.
In 1997, the entire complex was dedicated and named in honor of the late Dr. Harold Burry. Burry, a 1935 Westminster graduate, served as head football coach from 1952-71 with a career record of 127-31-5. He was inducted into the inaugural divisional class of the College Football Hall of Fame in 1996.Â
The stadium underwent a renovation in 1997, as a donation by Westminster trustee Jim Dewar and his family resulted in the refurbishment of the bleachers and construction of a new press box. Also, a new track was installed in 2001 through a gift from the Hoyt Foundation in New Castle. In 2005, a new scoreboard was installed.
Burry Stadium seats 4,500 fans.
